(Rock and Republic Rocking it Out!)
Today was the BEST day!!
I had the amazing opportunity of getting to watch Stage 4 of the Tour de Georgia today! And not only that, I got the hook-up from the sister of a friend to get an All Access pass!!
It was soooo much fun!
VIP tent with lots of yummy free food and drink, then entrance into the area where the riders get ready to take off. We were literally close enough to rub elbows with them. :)
It was a really cool stage to watch! It was a Team Time Trial. Doesn't happen that often in cycling races, but it's a little bit of a different perspective on just an individual time trial. You've got your whole team pulling and driving for you!
The 15 teams rode a 2.5 mile loop inside of Road Atlanta. It's a road track used for motorcycle racing and some race car races. The had to make 4 trips around it for a total of 10 miles and it was NOT flat. It would have been CRAZY hard to do that today! It was HOT. It was HILLY!! 10 miles all out with very little recovery.
You're thinking... "Wow, how is Kellye so familiar with this course?" Because I got to do the coolest thing ever today!! One of the Marshall's let me ride on the back of his motorcyle behind the CSC team!! AHHH!! It was seriously so much fun! And that team was so stinking fast and we rode so fast and tight in the turns. It was amazing!!
And ladies... just for your viewing pleasure...
Hincapie cute as always!
And I have a little crush on Levi! I mean I just want to rub that little bald head!!
Off to Florida tomorrow!! St. Petersburg here I come! We're down to 0 days of waking up once we make it to tomorrow morning, so off we go! We're all very excited, even the pug who will have company while we're gone! :)
Speedy good vibes to everyone racing this weekend. Even my friends at home racing John Tanner!! GO GO GO!!

How cool!
I wanted to go see some of the TDG, but with gas $18 a gallon it is either a powertap or . . . .
Well, there was no other choice.
Is Levi a midget?
Love the pics, how fun to ride on the back of the motorcycle. Here's hoping you are injury free this weekend, race smart!
